Plotting up aquifer test data this morning when Ted's name just popped into my head. I often think about Ted, and miss him, when I'm out and about doing field work. It's those times when I say his name out loud and think how good it would be to have him with me; how much he would enjoy it. You may be gone from us Ted, but we remember you well.

Ted is remembered , I keep his Obituary story on my office wall , his picture there reminds me of our friendship and good times we had , Ted is remembered .

Scrabble caught my eye; Ted was profoundly strong with the written word coupled with his study an understanding of geology-WOW! I think about my friend often. My mom "Queenie" Williams told me before she died that Ted was in her mind often. He is on many minds. Upon re-reading Ted's well written obituary, I'm reminded of the many facets of Teds life and the many people that admired and respected him.

Remembering you again, Ted. You and your entire 1972 class at St. Bonny's was the most memorable class - yours was the first. Now, still teaching here at USC 50 years later.

We had a blast being carefree and silly and by reading Ted's Obit, it appears he hasn't changed a bit with his dry sense of...

I know that nothing anyone can say can replace Ted, but know he will always be in your hearts. Every special moment in your live's from this point on, you will think of and therefore share it with Ted. Through such thoughts he will continue to be a part of your family and lives. God bless and know the thoughts of...

Ted and I spent a great deal of time together during the initial landslides at La Conchita while with the Upper Ojai Search and Rescue. Our job was escorting the Gas company representative to each of the homes making sure the gas was turned off. We were told that if we heard 3 blasts from a horn that the mountain was again sliding towards the town. Little did we know that the train would decide to blow it's horn 3 times when entering the town of La Conchita. Ted and I scrambled over each...

Ted;
I'm still carrying an empty paper cup and a napkin.
